Guus: only documentation of daml:item in the daml spec is in an RDFS
comment... and it has a mistake.
        
Guus: I gave an example [work-around?]... JimH seems interested in
having that in reference.

DanC gives some history of daml:item... sorta below the radar...

jim's action is changed...

ACTION GuusS: add daml:item work-alike example to Ref
ACTION JimH: Respond to commentor noting new example in ref

(less controversial than last time)

noted DONE.

CONTINUES (DanC thought he saw it, but couldn't confirm,

DONE.

some of the docs seems to be done... except...

roadmap)

Reply Karl Dubost:
> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webont-comments/2003Jul/0012.html

Guus: oddly, sandro's msg doesn't show up in the archive
        
DanC: Karl: "OK. I agree with your answer, except for a detail."
        
Sandro: how about the editorial comment about informative vs. normative
in S&AS?
        
IanH: hmm... good question... I think that's done but I'll check...

ACTION IanH: follow up on normative/informative editorial comment from
Karl


> xx (new): Keck: ObjectProperty and DatatypeProperty
> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webont-comments/2003Jul/0011.html

(JosD joined at this point)

Guus: his point that the names are bad is well-made
        
ChrisW: yes, confusion with rdfs's sense of "object" is a good point;
seems worth a note in Guide
        
Sandro: how about a comment in the owl RDF schema?
        
Guus: we don't have comments in the owl RDF schema
        
ACTION ChrisW: propose response re ObjectProperty and DatatypeProperty,
including note in Guide


> misc: ACTION DanC: send notice of RDF Core change to subClassOf

done:

  From: Dan Connolly <connolly@w3.org>
  To: www-webont-wg@w3.org
  Cc: Brian McBride <bwm@hplb.hpl.hp.com>
  Subject: RDFCore changed rdfs:subClassOf from iff to if
  Date: 10 Jul 2003 11:00:19 -0500

DanC: [history of rdfs:subClassOf if vs. iff...]

Welty: did anybody see
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-webont-wg/2003Jul/0087.html ?
[ChrisW] note it requires a minCardinality
        

IanH: how do you get the extensions lined up 'accidently'?
DanC: [ example using oneOf ...]
IanH: but oneOf isn't in RDFS...
DanC/PatH: see the example horst gave with rdf:type etc.

ACTION PatH: make sure S&AS is updated accordingly.

(Mike Smith joined during this item)

Guus: summary: 18 responses.
  I think some folks weren't clear that if you prefer something, you can
also live with it

 for "move to PR", 3 preferred, 14 could live with it.
 for "short CR iff RDF not ready" 12 prefer, 9 can live with it. appears
Jeremy and Jeff cannot live with it
 for "Have a short CR irrespective of RDF Core" 2 prefer, 14 can live
with
 for "Have a long CR period" 0 prefer, 7 can live with
 for "Other - explained in comment field" 1, jjc, comment: gives exit
criteria; suggests CR should be as long as it takes to get those

IanH: this "short CR" idea... how short is short? who decides?

DanC: it's not really time that matters... it's implementation
  experience. The time period
  gives a deadline for reporting experience and and helps
  set expectations, but the end of the time period isn't a
  guarantee of advancement.

IanH: I think we have enough; I went to a recent conference with tons of
people converting

DanC: let's please look at the draft request for CR/PR...
http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/WebOnt/rqim.html

IanH: there's a column missing for Sean's work with vampire
 it solved by far the biggest set of tests I've seen...
IanH: you could add Racer as a column

DanC: it would be nice if I had a report from the Racer folks about
which tests they pass

Guus: the questionairre seems to indicate that a short CR is in order.
DanC: so should we draft a request for CR?
Guus: yes, seems like a good idea. perhaps for the 24July agenda

Guus: some comments are awaiting ack... does that prevent CR?
DanC: no... if we say "are you satisfied?" and they don't reply after 7
days, they must not have cared that much

Guus: RDFCore reviewed WebOnt, we responded; do you expect that'll be
accepted?
PatH: I haven't seen anything that's likely to cause trouble, but I'm
not sure I've seen it all
JosD: I'm not comfortable on the rdfs:Class/owl:Class situation...
hmm...
